Why do Ganges river dolphins use clicks and whistles for communication?

  1. Ganges river dolphins are blind, so they use clicks and whistles to navigate and communicate. This process, called echolocation, allows them to detect objects and prey by sending out sound waves and listening to echoes. These sounds help them move safely in muddy rivers, find food and interact with other dolphins. By using different frequencies and patterns, they effectively share messages, locate obstacles and maintain social connections despite their lack of vision.
